National Peoples Party of Pakistan

The National Peoples Party was a secularist political party based in the Sindh region of Pakistan which existed from 1986 to 2013. It was founded by Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi as the result of his split with the Pakistan Peoples Party due to disagreements with Benazir Bhutto, and the party helped to form the center-right Islami Jamhoori Ittehad alliance in 1988. In 1993, the coalition came to an end when a major chunk of the coalition formed the Pakistan Muslim League (N), and the party supported Pervez Musharraf's regime. In 2013, the party would merge into PML (N).
